Abstract

A method for forming a pattern includes filling a resist in a groove of a cliché corresponding to the position of the pattern to be formed, transferring the resist which is filled in the groove onto a printing roll by rotating the printing roll in a direction parallel to the longest portion lengthwise direction of a pattern formed in cliché, and applying the resist on an etching object layer by rotating the printing roll along the etching object layer on a substrate.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
       1. A method for forming a pattern, comprising: 
       filling a resist in a groove of a cliché corresponding to the position of the pattern to be formed;  
       transferring the resist which is filled in the groove onto a printing roll by rotating the printing roll in a direction parallel to the longest portion lengthwise direction of a pattern formed in cliché; and  
       applying the resist on an etching object layer by rotating the printing roll along the etching object layer on a substrate.  
     
     
       2. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of filling the resist in the groove of the cliché includes: 
       applying the resist on the cliché;  
       filling the resist in the groove by pulling a doctor blade in a pulling direction across the surface of the cliché to flatten the resists into the grooves; and  
       removing excess resist that remains on the surface of the cliché except for in the groove.  
     
     
       3. The method of  claim 2 , wherein the pulling direction is parallel to the longest portion lengthwise direction of the pattern formed in cliché that is parallel to a longest length groove in the cliché. 
     
     
       4. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the etching object layer includes a metal layer. 
     
     
       5. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the etching object layer includes an insulating layer which is composed of SiO x  or SiN x . 
     
     
       6. The method of  claim 1 , wherein the etching object layer includes a semiconductor layer. 
     
     
       7. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
       providing a cliché for a pattern having a first pattern feature along the longest portion lengthwise direction and a second pattern feature protruding from the first pattern feature, wherein the second pattern feature has a side at an angle smaller than 90° from the longest portion lengthwise direction of the first pattern feature.  
     
     
       8. The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
       providing a cliché for a pattern having a first pattern feature along the longest portion lengthwise direction, a second pattern feature in parallel with the first pattern feature, and third pattern feature interconnecting the first and second pattern features.  
     
     
       9. A method for forming a pattern, comprising: 
       providing a cliché in which a groove is formed in a region corresponding to a shape of a pattern to be formed;  
       filling a resist into the groove and removing the resist which remains on the surface of the cliché except for resist within the groove by pulling a doctor blade in a pulling direction parallel a longest portion lengthwise direction of the groove to flatten the resist;  
       transferring the resist onto a printing roll by rotating the printing roll on the cliché along the longest portion lengthwise direction of the groove; and  
       applying the resist on the etching object layer by rotating the printing roll along the an etching object layer on a substrate.  
     
     
       10. The method of  claim 9 , further comprising: 
       providing a cliché for a pattern having a first pattern feature along the longest portion lengthwise direction and a second pattern feature protruding from the first pattern feature, wherein the second pattern feature has a side at an angle smaller than 90° from the longest portion lengthwise direction of the first pattern feature.  
     
     
       11. The method of  claim 9 , further comprising: 
       providing a cliché for a pattern having a first pattern feature along the longest portion lengthwise direction, a second pattern feature in parallel with the first pattern feature, and third pattern feature interconnecting the first and second pattern features.
